Have you ever wondered what it's like to have Christmas without a real family or serious friends?

Here's the short description: It sucks. If I'm lucky, the foster parents will give me something with a snarky message about getting in less trouble at school attached. If I'm really lucky it will actually be something some teens might want and won't be an ugly sweater or some crap.

On the other hand, I guess I have some things to be thankful for. I'm not a fugitive, I'm still human or at least I look the part, and I'm still able to fight when someone gives me a new plan.

Speaking of! Someone gimme some ideas for kicking... Okay I was going to say patriarchy butt (been reading some feminist webcomics lately), but now I think it we don't know the alien's genders. Alienarchy? Exoarchy? ... Hell if I know the right word.

Ideas for the right word to use there, as well as actual plans for wrecking this conspiracy so we can go off and be superheroes are both appreciated. Thank you.

And merry whatevermas. For those of us who haven't enjoyed cooler holidays like Hanukkah recently.

It's not going to be too long until I have to find work. Sexism thus is a real problem for me. Though probably less of one than, you know, the alien invasion plot.

I'd say death or anal probing or whatever is a lot worse than maybe not getting as good a job as some dude.

Like knights or something of the sort?

I haven't enjoyed Hanukkah recently, but it was pretty cool. Unfortunately, that's nothing to write home about without friends or family, either.

Yeah, true... A lot of these holidays have little point if you have little on that front.

Except Halloween and grad night.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Yeah. Doesn't mean we can't work against both, you know?

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

No, biker helmets is what I meant.

[stavros]

...yes, that would be better.

I'm actually not a fan of Halloween. A lot of violent crimes happen on that night.

It's also my birthday, but that ultimately feels more like a joke than anything good.

Xenoarchy, perhaps. Although I wouldn't call that a official term.

[dragon_blossom]

I don't know if I've got the time for both.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Problem will be finding something I can afford.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Hrm... I guess.

But yeah. Working to shift the culture to be more equitable? That's not a bad thing to work towards.

... That doesn't surprise me, sadly. Doubly frustrating because there's so much cool stuff that goes on then.

Re: [Text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

... Pretty good one, though.

[stavros]

Perhaps we could have a bake sale...? No, that sounds stupid and I'd never live it down.

[dragon_blossom]

Guess it sounds nice. Doesn't really do much for me right now though.

Great. Good to know. That's, um, two different levels of sincerity—more sincere for the first part. If I get too caught up with personal stuff, could I at least have the foster home's address? I still want to give you something, even if the party doesn't work out.

[lightsoflife]

Unfortunately, that's all I can offer. I have fewer ideas as to how to dismantle a conspiracy.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

It's a new field for all of us, really.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

It's one of those "Start now for a long-term payoff" things.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Plus wouldn't the baking supplies cost quite a bit in the first place?

[dragon_blossom]

Eh, there are plenty of other girls working on it. I'll stick to survival, school, and tennis.

[stavros]

...Perhaps.

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Not that I'd know. Never had much chance to do that, after all...
